Xbox One pre-orders 'trending ahead of Xbox 360', says Hryb

4.5

Xbox One demand apparently higher than Xbox 360 at launch

Xbox One pre-orders are "trending higher" than that of Xbox 360 during its respective pre-launch period, according to Microsoft's Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb.

Posting via Twitter today, Hryb said, "Just found out XboxOne preorders are trending ahead of Xbox 360 preorders during the same time period + sold out at most U.S. retailers."

Hryb didn't release any specific figures, nor did the firm make any mention of Xbox One's pre-order performance in today's fiscal Q4 and year-end finical report.

This does, however, support the prior claim of Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, who said Christmas pre-order numbers for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One are twice what they were for the launch of PS3 and Xbox 360.

UK retailers reported strong Xbox One pre-orders following the announcement of Microsoft's console in May, with Blockbuster saying Xbox One pre-orders broke records for the firm.

Meanwhile online retail giant Amazon reported in June that Xbox One and PS4 pre-orders were 'neck and neck', and that Xbox One pre-orders were 20 per cent higher than they were for Xbox 360 ahead of its release in 2005.

Microsoft today reported significant growth for its Entertainment and Devices Division which encompasses its Xbox business, and claimed Xbox Live growth of nearly 20 per cent.

Vancouver_Canucks It was quite obvious to me that it would happen. More users than when Xbox 360 was being released.

Yeah, way more users. I knew it would, but not by this much so fast. But everyone wants a next-gen console whether it is xbox one or PS4. :D

Well i still havnt decided i was going with the PS4 then xbox changed the used game policy so the only thing thats bad about xbox is the price
Yea the price is stupid and it's not just the price, it's knowing that that extra $100 is going towards a paperweight.

It's idiots like you that annoy me...
Do you even realize how many more software features the Xbox One has over the Playstation, oh wait, that's a stupid question, because if you had known, you wouldn't have posted this idiotic post. It also comes with the Kinect 2 sensor, which if you didn't watch E3, is state of the art technology and will be absolutely amazing.

All you did was listen to people that complain about the price, so now you think it is over priced as well.

If everyone would just pay attention then the Xbox One would have 1,000,000 more pre-orders then the crappy Gaystation.

And no i am not an Xbox fanboy, i actually game on PC, but between these two consoles, the Xbox definitely is better.

It's idiots like you that annoy me you say you're not a Microsoft fanboy yet you call the PS4 the gaystation?

Half off your topics are about xbox so you know that's all lies.

Who the hell wants to pay an extra $100/GBP what ever your currency is all it will do is collect dust for most people.

You say you're a PC gamer once again most of your topic are about xbox and playing Runescape LOL doesn't make you a PC gamer.

Last thing PS4>X1.

Don't see why everyone is soo pissed off about paying more for the kinect, I think I will like it and it will be awesome! While everyone else is just assuming it will be **** because of the kids with the kinect mic on xbox 360. Personally I can't wait to get my hands on it, if I do get an xbox. We haven't even tested out the kinect our self and don't know what it is going to be like, I do agree they could have went down on the price though.

The kinect mic doesn't bother me. It's the fact that I don't want a kinect nor will I probably ever use one, I don't want to. Besides, all my friends and I will just use our current headsets with the adapter or buy new headsets anyway and I can't see the kinect being involved into fps games especially cross-platform games which is mostly what I play. I just want a good ole fashioned controller none of this touchscreen or motion gaming crap.

I watched e3 live and I saw the Kinect and it looks as dumb as the first one. It's a gimmick. That's all it is. I'm ten times more up to date on everything that's going on in the gaming community then you'll ever be wether you want to be or not. I know all there is to know about both consoles that is public. I do pay attention and did you see me say Plaustation is better once? No? Oh I thought so. Please don't try to sound smart because you're not. I can guarantee the Kinect can be absolutely amazing and no one cares it's stupid. The last thing people that actually work for money (unlike the tons of spoiled little kids on the internet) want to do is get home from a hard day of work is scream and jump around there room like a **** idiot. Along with that, please tell the "TONS" of features the Xbox has over the Playstation? Because their pretty damn equal after the pros and cons of each system. By the time both consoles come out I will have them both and they will both be played a lot, but like I said earlier I will be uncomfortable knowing I payed an extra hundred dollars for a paperweight and that's what it is a PAPERWEIGHT I won't use it. Oh and if you were so informed you must of saw that amazing technology being used for that retarded Nickalodeon game huh yea so AMAZING I bet that's gonna be a system seller right?
